Arnold Explores Cannes Becasue You Cannes’t

This could be, by far, the best coverage of Cannes this side of the pond. Four folks from Arnold Worldwide have headed out to Cannes, launched a site called Cannes’t and are publishing videos for the sole purpose of “figuring out what the hell this thing is all about.” They’re staying in a flat and already adopted a fifth Arnold employee who they found staying in a trashy hotel and invited to move in with them. There’s interviews. There’s “man on the street” coverage. There’s wit. There’s humor. There’s small dogs. There’s scootering. There’s the beach! It’s all good. Very nice work. For anyone who wishes they were there (uh, me) this is the best way to vicariously be there.

Oh, and they’ve given the gutter bar perhaps the best nickname of all time: The United Nations on Crack.

The sad truth why adult children slowly stop sharing real things with their parents has nothing to do with distance or busy schedules—it’s that somewhere in their 30s they realized their parent would either worry too much, give advice they didn’t ask for, or make it about themselves, and the silence was easier than managing any of those three responses

Nobody prepares you for the loneliness of being well-married. Not unhappy enough to leave, not connected enough to stop aching, just existing in the strange middle territory where everything is fine and fine is the loneliest word in the English language

I’m 73 and the loneliest I’ve ever felt wasn’t the years I lived alone — it was the decades I spent in rooms full of people who only ever knew the version of me I was brave enough to show
